Better Buildings Partnership

Through the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP), the City provides funding, expertise and support to improve the energy efficiency of Toronto’s residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings.

Buildings and Climate Change

Homes and buildings generate about half of the greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto today. To reduce the worst impacts of climate change, the City of Toronto has a target to reduce GHG emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. To reach the target, all existing homes and buildings in Toronto will need to be 40 per cent more energy efficient, on average, than they are today. Learn more about the City’s TransformTO Climate Action Strategy.

To date, the BBP has facilitated more than 2,800 projects, resulting in 3.8 million MWh in energy savings and 690,000 fewer CO2 emissions.
